Gary also waded into the alleged row between Harry’s wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, 41, and Catherine over bridesmaids dresses for Harry and Meghan’s wedding, insisting that Catherine – who he refers to as Kate – was not at fault.
He said: “I honestly don’t believe this version of the ‘facts’. Kate is self-sufficient, resourceful and extremely capable. She comes from a family of doers and fixers and has an amazing support system in her younger sister Pippa and her mum, my older sister Carole, who runs her own successful business. She has taught her girls to deal with problems with calm capability, not histrionics.
“The Kate I know so well would never have caused a fuss. She’s not a drama queen; she’s not confrontational, as the book suggests. And she’d never pile more pressure on a bride. After all, she knows the tensions involved when you marry into the Royal Family all too well.”
